The pastor in charge of Divine Shadow Church, Uhembe Jacob, whose church was razed last week over alleged missing male organs in Daudu, in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, has been killed.
Jacob was alleged to be an accomplice in the missing male organ incidents in Daudu.
He was also accused of collecting N12,000 from every resident who complained of the disappearance of their genitals before curing them.
The pastor was killed after a mob burnt his house and church.
According to a resident, who identified himself only as Dennis, the pastor was attacked when he attempted to leave for another village in Nasarawa State.
Dennis said, “The man ought to have been arrested by the Daudu Divisional Police Officer, but he decided to run away. He was killed in a village along Lafia Road.”
The killing of the pastor was said to have triggered a protest by his church members on Sunday, who demanded justice for him.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Catherine Anene, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the cleric was killed while attempting to leave the community.
Anene, who could not say precisely when the man died, said, “The pastor was to be picked up by the DPO in Daudu, but he rushed into his vehicle and fled. He was later killed.”
